I have no idea what fucking parallel universe or fantasy world people who think Reddit is a haven of pro Chinese propaganda live in but I’d probably rather be there than in our timeline.

There’s a tacit understanding, particularly for veteran Reddit users, that the site is heavily astroturfed and that the motives of the administrators differ vastly from the preferences of the user base.

However, because of this very real astroturfing / white washing / social engineering, it is impossible to accurately describe the reasons why Reddit sucks on Reddit. The only criticisms that can break through - whether they’re “too many women are in charge” or “another subreddit is ruining everything” or “China Bad” - are wide of the mark.

So you can either stick around Reddit and endure the tidal waves of bullshit that dominate the front page. Or you can leave and stop worrying about it.

Extremely dead meme with reaction animal format combined with casual racism? Oh yeah, this feels like some vintage :reddit-logo: slop

I forgot daily mass shootings are a sign of a “civilized” nation

Create post

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
